Why not? Anyone who knows how to strip paint and re-paint metals can do it. My friends and I did it with a Suzuki once. Just sanded the fuel tank down, repainted it, stickered it, and sprayed clear overcoat paint on it.

That's pretty sweet, actually. I may have to go that route myself.

If you end up going that route, I'd appreciate some direction and pictures. I am very interested in that look but not sure how to go about it other than finding someone to do it for me.
